Posted June 4, 2020 So as the title said, when I play games like GTA V and GTA San Andreas I always get fps drops. Upon checking my task manager I saw that both the games are using cpu usage instead of gpu usage. Tried downloading furmark and yes, gpu usage became 90-100% [meaning that my gpu works] I use two monitors, one attached on the gpu and one attached on the mobo [does that affect the performance?] I already disabled the IGPU on the Bios. My power option is not on "power saving mode" NVIDIA Control Panel 3D Settings is already set to my GPU. I use two 720p monitors, does 720p affects my gaming experience? Any thoughts? System: CPU : Intel Core i5 - 7400 @ 3.00GHz GPU : NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB MOBO : GIGABYTE H110M - DS2 RAM : Hyperㄨ Fury Black (2x8gb) DDR4 2400MHz Thanks in advance!

I am playing my games on the monitor that is connected to the GPU. I also use a vga to hdmi converter imma just add it here [dunno if this affects the gaming experience] Soon, I am going to connect my 2nd monitor also to my gpu? will that change drastically?

These are pretty low resolution. This means that they are relatively easy for your GPU to drive. But the low resolution doesn't do anything to help the CPU.

San Andreas is an older game, not well optimized for modern hardware and probably single threaded. What kind of frame rate are you getting? I mean I am getting 60fps + on both GTA San Andreas and GTA V, it is just annoying that I seem to get fps drops more often and the low gpu usage on task manager is making me nuts. Could it be my cpu just being bad? or gpu being bad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted June 4, 2020 Frame drops could he caused by game assets loading in, or background programs running. It seems like you should be able to turn up the graphics settings and still get the same FPS, while putting a bit more load on your GPU.

Anyways, I'm going to try it and update you guys what happened. EDIT: Tried enabling the DSR but it doesn't work I think? It says input not supported [on my monitor] even tried changing my resolution on nvidia control panel to the "DSR Resolution" but still no luck? is it because im using a 720p monitor? or using an hdmi cable? or it will just automatically activate the "dsr" on games even tho I use my native resolution 1366x768? Also I tried restarting my pc but still no luck. EDIT AGAIN: So tried playing GTA V, then yes I can see the "DSR Resolutions" on the settings but once I applied it, it doesn't work and it just says input not supported on my monitor. Something's wrong? already watched some YouTube videos and they just change the reso and it works, but for mine it won't work? any guess? Thanks in advance.

Posted June 6, 2020 @KuyaJustin If you monitor has issues on 1366x768 (because morons programmed EDID for your monitor), I suggest you try using Downsampling (or "custom resolution" as it's also called). Example resolutions worth checking : 1920x1080 60Hz / 1920x1080 xxHz 2560x1440 60Hz / 2560x1440 xxHz (xxHz is value between 30 and 60 depending on how much monitor can handle) I recommend setting resolution scaling on GPU instead of monitor. You have to disable DSR for Downsampling to work.

Example resolutions worth checking : 1920x1080 60Hz / 1920x1080 xxHz 2560x1440 60Hz / 2560x1440 xxHz (xxHz is value between 30 and 60 depending on how much monitor can handle) I recommend setting resolution scaling on GPU instead of monitor. You have to disable DSR for Downsampling to work. So.. tried "custom resolution" The 1920x1080 doesnt work I don't know why. But the 2560x1440 definitely works! So should I play games with 2560x1440? EDIT: So it does work on games, but the problem is I can't even read a single thing lol. Will it work if my desktop is at 1366x768 then I play my game on 2560x1440?

Posted June 6, 2020 You can (FPS permitting), and yes it will work (not in window/bordeless mode when desktop is at 720p though). Just tweak scaling options for GUI to make things bigger. Some games GUI may depend on Windows scaling, so forcing 1440p on desktop with setting 200% scaling should help you.
